The `-w' option, as far as I can tell, does not have overview pass a descriptor of the kbd to the application (X in this case) but instead assigns an environment variable WINDOW_GFX to special file which X can open and gain access to all the fun internal sun functions. (haveing the variable WINDOW_GFX set is how X determines if it is running under overview). Anyhow, to get back to SunView from X press <META-L2> (actually <LEFT-L2> or <RIGHT-L2>) and you will be back to SunView. This probably should have made it into the Xsun man page, but X11 is coming and I assume that the people at SUN will do a better job. As for your Keyboard, X remaps it so that you can use all your function keys. If you do not like this feature, recompile Xsun without the #define RAW_KBD. (I think it actually is in the makefile as -DRAW_KBD). -Paul R Borman Cray Research, Inc. prb@umn-rei-uc.arpa
